The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives in Kaduna State has suspended its warning strike.
This announcement was made in a statement by the association’s chairman, Ishaku Yahaya, on Monday.
The union decided to suspend the strike after seeing serious commitment from the government through the offices of the Secretary to the State Government, the Head of Service, and the Commissioner for Health. These discussions led to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.
“We resolved to suspend the five-day warning strike to give room for more negotiations and await the government to fulfill its side of the MoU,” the statement added.
The strike, which started on July 8, 2024, aimed to press home their demands for an improved welfare package. Yahaya mentioned that the strike recorded a huge success and had 100 percent compliance from members.
He commended the resilience, determination, and massive support of the union members, saying, “Therefore, the strike is hereby suspended and you are expected to resume your normal duties on July 10, 2024.
“The State Administrative Council sincerely appreciates your massive support and resolve in making this struggle for the betterment of our welfare a huge success. We assure you of our readiness to represent you and to do that very well without fear or favour. Do not forget it is a suspension, meaning if the promises made are not fulfilled, we shall resume the industrial action at the appropriate time,” he stressed.
